Let’s Taco Bout It: A Cinco de Mayo Party Brimming with Cactus + Colorful Accents

Cinco de Mayo Inspiration

When “let’s taco ’bout it,” and “it’s nacho business” are the tag lines of the party, you know it’s going to be a good time! Brimming with colorful accents, along with tons of cactus, this vibrant Cinco de Mayo-inspired fiesta is the perfect inspiration for your next party!

Event designer, Jacquelyn, of Beijos Events shares: Cinco de Mayo is always a vibrant holiday that we love to celebrate, this year we went with a cactus theme. I worked with so many amazing vendors to make it come to life. We shot at the eclectic American Vintage House in Newport Beach — you can rent the space for events, or purchase vintage goods! We had a nacho bar, because what good party doesn’t?

Ready to explore all the mouthwatering delights (including a taco wall!)? Let’s take a peek at all the eye candy from Roxanne McClure!
